I really believe in social media. The notion of community (many people) aligning with social media (technology that facilitates sharing) to ineract really speaks to me. Must be from my early days earning my chops with open source technologies. To my dear friends who called this blog, "boring" and "riveting (not)", I introduce to you YawnLog. Yawnlog is a website where you can track how many hours you slept and what you dreamed about. And, they've got funding! Who knows what will become of it and how you make money from it. But the notion that the community is tracking this and sharing is really interesting. And, gee, maybe someday someone will come up with a site to track and discuss what we eat every day. Wouldn't that be neat.

Breakfast

2 Slices Wheat Toast with Butter and Trader Joe's Sunflower Seed Butter (this is really good stuff and did you read about the cleanliness of that peanut processing plant? Ummm, ick.)

Lunch
Pork Chop

Smashed Rutabaga with Baked Pear and Ginger

Dinner

Cheeseburger from The HorseShoe Pub (if you find yourself in or around Hudson, Ma. you really need to head to the 'Shoe, as we call it. 75 beers on tap and really good cheeseburgers. I had the cheddar jack version with a Stella Artois or two.)

It seems FatKlatt is "highly disappointed" with my blog updates and recent entries (and his blog is where? Oh, that's right, he's busy working as an extra). Well, he'll likely be right pissed that I missed a few days then, eh? Hah! I did think about doing a couple over the weekend and catching up, but it's the freaking weekend. I was busy doing anything else. So, for those days I missed, here's what I ate: breakfast, Denny's Big Slam Breakfast; lunch, Burger King Whopper Meal with Onion Rings; dinner, Fish Tacos. Mmmmm, yummy.

So, somebody explain the following to me - I asked TheSpinMD and he had nothing (he was also highly pissed at me because I was having a beer and he was at work, I sense a theme). AIG. We, you and me, own 80% of AIG. AIG is prepping to report $60B loss next week. Their market cap is $1.4B. And, the gubmnet is looking to buy more of AIG to keep them afloat. Why? What are we buying? Serious, someone explain this to me. I am no mathematician, but that math doesn't work. I am practicing my "oots" and "aboots", just in case.........

On to the food. Check out dinner, JBOO went crazy:

Breakfast

Plain Bagel Toasted with butter and peanut butter (I know, it's odd, but I like it.)

Lunch and Dinner

These were combined as we had a little shin-dig and ate all day:

Black Bean Salsa and Chips
Fruit Platter
Veggie and Dip

Turkey, brined, with gravy
Stuffing
Red-Skinned Mashed Potatoes
Lemon-Roasted Green Beans with Marcona Almonds
Grilled Vegs
Cranberry Pecan Goat Cheese Salad
Bread

Strawberry shortcake with Vanilla Ice Cream

I'm still full......

What a load of crap, catch this:

"This is your money. You have a right to know where it's going and how it's being spent. Learn what steps we're taking to ensure you can track our progress every step of the way."

This is from the website for the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act or what I'd like to rename the America Recovers by Screwing Everyone (ARSE) Act.

If it's my money, why didn't I get a chance to say where it goes and how it's spent. How is this not taxation without representation? How is this constitutional?

And, can I just say (clearing throat): "SCREW GM! TO HELL WITH CHRYSLER!"

Anyway, keep an eye on this site. Should be good for comic relief. Obama promises to "call out" anyone who doesn't spend "our money" properly. Oooh, what's he gonna do next, put their picture up here?

Breakfast:

One of these Cream Cheese and Blueberry things, which are very good.

Lunch:

Trader Joe's Turkey Sausage Stromboli, man these are so good.

Dinner:

JBOO and I went out for Thai food. Split some Ginger Chicken and Tofu Vegetable Pad Thai.

Thank you to FatKlatt for this pic. That's beautiful. FatKlatt is not known for his patience, nor his spelling.......

Oh, and what the heck. I wasn't going to do it, but this story about a woman who has been married 23 times (and is looking for another), inspired me. Another FatKlatt pic.

Breakfast:

Bacon, egg, cheese on a toasted Sesame Bagel (Yummy! Thank you to JBOO for the big breakfast)

Lunch:

Curried Chicken (leftovers)

Dinner:

Trader Joe's Chicken Seranato (This is great stuff if you haven't had it. Frozen chicken breasts ((tee-hee, he said breasts)) with peppers, onions, in a spicy Verde-type sauce. Not like that over-hyped, over-priced, overly-organic, and all too natural product at this joint.

Pasta (Farfalle, aka bow tie)
